One week until Christmas (whaaat??) and then shortly after, it will be a whole new year. 2019 feels like it’s going to be a real wild card. This has been a year of major ups and downs for me, so I’m definitely looking forward to experiencing some resolve. I have such a clear vision and can’t wait to see some goals and projects through in the next 12 months. It’s gearing up to be my busiest yet, which is exciting yet scary. Here’s to a year of peace, stability, and goal crushing!🥂 What are you pursuing for 2019?

It’s December, and I have 3 weddings to double check and send out, 2 weddings on my editing pile, and 2 more weddings to shoot over the Xmas period. BUT, I am already itching to do my best of 2018 blog post. 💕I feel like it’s going to be a good’un with some of the most amazing moments! I hope you’re ready for it... 😎⚡️😍#rosiekellyphotography#weddingphotography#weddinggoals#weddingphotographer

Good or bad, God or The Devil, you get to choose what you gonna be. While you choose your path, you’ll be in the spot light. Make sure you gonna take the path that your mind and soul would go together. Theyyam is a living cult with several thousand year old tradition. The great stories of Kerala are often retold using art forms. It is here that our legends truly come to life. Theyyam is a famous ritual art form that originated in North Kerala which brings to life the great stories of our State. It encompasses dance, mime and music. It exalts the beliefs of the ancient tribals who gave a lot of importance to the worship of heroes and the spirits of their ancestors. The ceremonious dance is accompanied by the chorus of such musical instruments as Chenda, Elathalam, Kurumkuzal and Veekkuchenda. There are over 400 separate Theyyams, each with their own music, style and choreography. The most prominent among these are Raktha Chamundi, Kari Chamundi, Muchilottu Bhagavathi, Wayanadu Kulaven, Gulikan and Pottan.

Each artist represents a hero with great power. Performers wear heavy make-up and adorn flamboyant costumes. The headgear and ornaments are truly majestic and fill one with a sense of awe and wonder. From December to April, there are Theyyam performances in many temples of Kannur and Kasaragod. Karivalloor, Nileswaram, Kurumathoor, Cherukunnu, Ezhom and Kunnathoorpadi in North Malabar are places where Theyyams are performed annually (Kaliyattam) and draw huge crowds.

My soon to be hubby is Lebanese 🇱🇧 That sounds impressive, but basically what it means is that I spend most of my time waiting for him to get in the car after he came to tell me he’s ready to go to the shops 🙃 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So when these two crazy kids came for their honeymoon to our beautiful country 🇿🇦 we planned to do a gorgeous session for them! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Even though we only had 20min to take photos before the light was gone, we still created this magic! 🙌🎉 📸 @carafayeweddings
